Industry trade show 2.Manure technology demonstrations and tours 3.Educational sessions and events “The North American Manure Expo will also provide an opportunity to showcase our state’s feeding industry and its ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship,” said David Kringen, SDSU Extension Water Resources Field Specialist. History of the North American Manure Expo In early 2001, the University of Wisconsin was approached by a number of custom manure applicators in their region requesting a show that would provide side-by-side comparisons of agitation and application equipment to help determine what best fit their individual needs. From this request came the first Manure Expo, which was held near Prairie Du Sac, WI in August 2001. The first event proved to be very successful and additional shows were requested for 2003. Growing attendance meant that expansion was needed and it was decided at that time to take the show on the road as well. The Expo has grown to be an annual event and has been hosted by Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Ontario, Canada and, in 2018, South Dakota! 2018 Expo Event The North American Manure Expo can expect to bring together a number of different industry and agency personnel including, but are not limited to:  1. Livestock producers in the dairy, beef, pork, and poultry industries; 2. Custom manure handlers, applicators, and brokers; 3. Crop consultants and nutrient management specialists; 4.
